A reduction series of neodymium supported by pyridine(diimine) ligands Dedicated to Professor Geoff Cloke on the occasion of his 65(th) birthday.

摘要

The synthesis of a redox series of neodymium species bearing the redox active pyridine(diimine) ligand, (PDIMe)-P-Mes, is reported. Spectroscopic and structural characterization supports each compound has a Nd(iii) centre, with the (PDIMe)-P-Mes ligand existing in four oxidation states.
